In a post on the PlayStation.Blog, Housemarque's Mikael Haveri wrote that Resogun is a spiritual successor to the Stardust series, but will add a "new twist" to the genre. "The cylindrical gameplay is closer to old school 2D shooters, and one interesting side effect of that is that the world has gravity now. You actually expect things to fall down, there are ground enemies… these elements completely change the playfield compared to the Stardust series."

Correction: We initially reported Resogun would be available on the PS Vita. It was actually only streamed to the Vita from a PS4.
